Lot 1 is its promontory’s top and most favored western and southern slopes open to unobstructed sunshine and spectacular panoramas of ocean bound shipping and ferry crossings below the Olympic Mountains and peninsula, Bainbridge and Whidbey Islands, and Admiralty Inlet, the Sound’s connection to the Pacific.
